Liza
and Rayne are super light, although Liza has a similar pink flash. It’s like Do
You Sea What I Sea light. Saint is also a lighter version of Do You Sea What I
Sea, and the shimmer is more of a pearl than Sea’s micro glitter. Melodrama is
way too dark, as are December to Remember, Dorothy Who, and Beauty & the
Beach, not to mention their shimmers are all different and except for Melodrama
and December to Remember lack the pink/purple shimmer. Teal the Cows Come Home
and Cliffhanger are similar but lighter and lack the duochrome, but are in the
same ballpark. Aquarius is lighter and has more of a visible flash, but the
formula is terrible. I had a hard time with the swatch stick for this one, let
alone as a full manicure on the nails. Xanadu is also lighter but this one also
has some larger blue glitters in it. Emily is by far the closest thing I have
and it’s pretty close. They both have flecky shimmer that goes from blue to
pink. However, they’re not the same flash – I can’t seem to get them both to
flash pink at the same time – and Emily’s more opaque, and a little lighter.
They’re really rather close though.
